Definitions

  • the present invention relates to packaging and applicator devices for eyeliner.
  • Eyeliner applicators are known that include a stem provided at one end with an applicator endpiece constituted by a tip that is tapering, e.g. of generally conical shape. Such applicators do not make it easy to draw a line of greater or lesser width.
  • US patent No. 7 077 592 describes an applicator enabling a line to be drawn with greater or smaller width by means of the presence of two tips. Nevertheless, it is quite difficult to draw a broad line or a narrow line since the tips tend to splay apart from each other under the effect of the pressure exerted against the skin.
  • Applicators are also known that include applicator tips in a variety of shapes as described in publications WO2007/078769 A2 , EP 1 745 717 A2 , US 2007/0017544 A1 , US 6 070 598 , and US 2006/0013639 .
  • US patent No. 5 888 005 describes a capillary applicator intended more particularly for applying nail varnish.
  • the stem may present a narrow portion of diameter lying in the range 0.5 millimeters (mm) to 1.5 mm.
  • the distal portion of the stem is provide with a slot of width lying in the range 0.2 mm to 2.5 mm, depending on the viscosity of the composition.
  • DE 30 24 381 describes a device for cleaning the skin, in particular passages in the ear or the nose.
  • US 4 509 540 describes an applicator member mounted on a spring, enabling a cosmetic powder to be dusted on by causing the spring to oscillate.
  • WO 97/21554 describes a correcting fluid applicator for a paper surface.
  • a packaging and applicator device for a cosmetic composition in particular an eyeliner, that is simple to fabricate and to use, and that enables makeup to be applied carefully, and that is very soft.
  • the invention provides an eyeliner applicator including a stem and an applicator endpiece of elongate shape along a longitudinal axis, the endpiece being carried by the stem.
  • the endpiece has a flexible zone that deforms when the applicator is in use, the flexible zone having first and second dimensions d x and d y respectively along first and second axes X and Y that are mutually perpendicular and perpendicular to the longitudinal axis Z of the endpiece.
  • the first and second dimensions are substantially equal, which means that they satisfy 0.5 ⁇ d y /d x ⁇ 2.
  • the flexible zone is extended by a head that is flat in a plane containing the longitudinal axis Z and the second axis Y, and that, measured parallel to the second axis Y, has a maximum width L max that is greater than the second dimension d y , the maximum width (L max ) of the head lies in the range 0.4mm to 4mm.
  • the head is connected to the remainder of the endpiece solely via the flexible zone.
  • the user can draw a fine line or a broader line depending on the orientation given to the applicator endpiece relative to the skin.
  • the user can also draw a line of greater or smaller width by pressing against the head to a greater or lesser extent, thereby causing it to bend to a greater or lesser extent.
  • the applicator may be associated with a container containing the composition for application and forming an eyeliner packaging and applicator device.
  • the flexible zone is the only zone that is flexible and it may be closer to the distal end of the applicator than to the distal end of the stem supporting the endpiece.
  • the head has opposite sides in the directions of the axes X and Y that are the visible outer sides of the endpiece.
  • the term "opposite visible outer sides” should be understood to mean the sides of the endpiece that are furthest apart from each other along the direction of the X axis or the Y axis in question and that do not face some other portion of the endpiece that is even further out along the direction of the axis in question.
  • substantially equal dimensions d x and d y should be understood as meaning that the dimensions d x and d y satisfy 0.5 ⁇ d y /d x ⁇ 2, better 0.9 ⁇ d y /d x ⁇ 1.1.
  • the presence of the flexible zone makes application comfortable and makes it easier to obtain a line of desired thickness, by enabling the head to be tilted relative to the skin.
  • the flexible zone is of substantially the same dimensions measured parallel to the first and second axes means that it has substantially the same flexibility along those two axes.
  • the head may have thickness measured parallel to the first axis X that is less than or equal to the first dimension d x of the flexible zone, in particular thickness e that is substantially equal to said first dimension d x .
  • the endpiece may be made by molding an elastomer material, and it may optionally include flocking on its surface.

  • this adjacent portion may present a cross-section that tapers towards the tip, in particular being of conical shape converging towards the flexible zone.
  • the length l of the head measured along the longitudinal axis of the endpiece, may lie in the range 0.5 mm to 3 mm.
  • the maximum width L max of the head may lie in the range 0.4 mm to 4 mm, better in the range 0.4 mm to 3 mm, better in the range 0.8 mm to 2 mm.
  • the thickness e of the head may lie in the range 0.2 mm to 1 mm, for example.
  • the flexible zone may have a diameter that is less than or equal to 1 mm, e.g. lying in the range 0.2 mm to 0.8 mm.
